In 1848 William and Ellen Craft did the impossible: they escaped from Georgia disguised as a white master with his black slave. Pursued and in danger of being retaken and tortured, they went public, speaking and touring northern states before fleeing to England. This class will be a deep dive into their history and encourage developing your ideas out loud. At heart, this is an American love story between a man and a woman, a couple and a country.

Now known as Tiktaalik, the "fish with hands," it lived approximately 375 million years ago. Using our inner fish as a case study, our true goal is to better understand how scientists establish scientific claims. In this learning through conversation seminar, participants must read one short chapter of the book before each class.
The required book, Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin, is available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and other booksellers.
